Economic crime lawyer | White-collar specialist | Bogdan Lamatic
I am Bogdan Lamatic, attorney at the Bucharest Bar, with 18+ years of criminal law practice and a strong track record in white-collar crime: tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, embezzlement, corruption and abuse of office. I represent both individuals and companies in complex investigations and trials, including before the High Court of Cassation and Justice.
Recognized by Legal 500 for five consecutive years as a Next Generation Partner (White-Collar Crime), I build tailored, evidence-driven strategies that focus on procedural fairness, challenging unlawful evidence, and minimizing reputational impact.
Whether you are under investigation, indicted, or a victim in an economic crime case, my goal is to secure a solid, discreet, and result-oriented outcome.

Why you need a white-collar specialist
Economic crime cases require not only advanced criminal law knowledge but also a deep understanding of financial flows, accounting, tax, procurement rules and corporate governance. Defense hinges on correlating technical documentation with the strict requirements of criminal procedure.
I protect your rights from the first procedural step, scrutinize every piece of evidence, raise procedural objections where appropriate, and negotiate pragmatic outcomes when they serve your best interest.
